Ahaha, for some reason I think this secret is kind of cute.

Some things just don't go away.

I find this secret adorable. We all have soft spots for our old Mary-Sues. Why not write a fic where you revamp her and tone her down into a more realistic, less Sue-ish character? After a decade more writing experience, you're probably good enough to pull it off.

Because Sorato came completely outta nowhere. I completely understand if you can only ship him with a (bad) OC. Everyone did back in 2002.

But yeah like someone above me said, you can still ship him with your OC, just fix it up to be realistic!

It must've been some 6-7 years since I last read the word "Sorato".

I just. Time sure flies.

Man, I had one of those too, back in the day :) NOSTALGIA. I think I still have bad fanart in a Digimon ringbinder in my bedroom someplace...

(I say "someplace", it's right across the room from me)

(NOSTALGIA!)

This is really cute. Don't fight it OP, their love transcends your better judgement. but I bet you can tweak her character so you don't have to feel so bad?

I have the same problem, except with Gary from Pokemon. I tried to "fix" it by shipping him with other canon characters, and while I did enjoy reading fic of that pairing, it just wasn't the same. I finally decided that my stupid canon char/OC ship is fine, since I do realize how problematic my Mary Sue OC is. I'll just make sure to keep it all in my head or on my own computer.

I think everyone needs some type of wish fulfillment or escapist fantasy.

Aww. I think a lot of people kinda have a soft spot for their own Mary Sues and having them be the ~special~ ones and pairing them with the characters.

They're not called power fantasies because they're not fun, after all.

IIIIIII'm just going to come out and say hi, this is OP. I was totally expecting to be ridiculed for this, but ;; Aww, you guys.

Honestly, I have been considering rewriting the fics and reworking my OC into something believable. Originally, they were a crossover with EarthBound (aka that game that Ness in Smash Bros. is from) and the OC was a blatant self-insert (so she had all of the coolest powers and shit); the premise was your basic "Ninth Child" kind of thing. I know the idea is clichéd as hell and way overdone, but... I honestly think I'd like to make my OC believable and realistic and do the idea justice. When I was rewatching DA01 I really got a good grasp of all of the canon and background stuff (which, admittedly, I did not when I was writing these).

I think, if I can find a way to recreate the premise and make it mesh into the series' canon better, then I might be able to pull it off. I haven't written anything apart from RP stuff in over two and a half years, I'm in a terrible dry spell, and I've got a huge burst of inspiration for this right now. So I want to try it.

(For the curious, the old fics are here (http://yumekazaguruma.livejournal.com/tag/digimon), starting at the bottom. I was maybe 14/15 when I wrote them back in like 2001ish, so of course they suck. I also had a website (http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/ihaveconfidence/) that was kind of a Big Thing way back in the day, I guess. ;;)
